Movie Reviews and Previews Into The Woods singing trailer I think I peaked too early. When we got the teaser trailer earlier this year, I was so excited. I was SO excited. I spent the next week walking around going “… I wish”… fully primed. Gagging for it. Click here for a refresher. And then yesterday morning when I got By Duana • Nov 07, 2014 10:51 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Into The Woods First Trailer Okay, as you may have gleaned from life and people who sing Rent on the subway, there are several tiers of musical theatre fans. Some who think they love musicals because they watched the VHS tape of Annie, and another version who performed in Pippin growing up and will defend By Duana • Aug 01, 2014 11:42 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Meryl Streep, Rock Star She kind of is already, right? Meryl is Meryl like Madonna is Madonna, like Beyonce is Beyonce, like Adele is Adele, like Lorde is Lorde. Meryl is Hollywood’s rock star (sorry Johnny), so it makes sense that she will now play a rock star. Deadline is reporting that Meryl By Sarah • Apr 02, 2014 12:38 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Giver trailer doesn’t give Taylor Swift I had to watch it twice to make sure I didn’t see her. Then I sent it to our site coordinator Emily and asked her if she saw her. There is no Taylor Swift in the first trailer for The Giver. OK fine. But there is a LOT of By Lainey • Mar 20, 2014 01:41 pm
Oscars 2014 Meryl Streep: Oscars Most Grace So, in today’s unpopular opinion, I hate grace. I hate that it’s the first trait we apply to women who don’t scream their sexiness out all over the place. I hate that it’s used as a synonym for “pretty and polite and thin” but it’s By Duana • Mar 03, 2014 08:49 am
Award Season Campaigning All but Judi Judi Dench was the only Best Actress nominee who did not attend the Nominees Luncheon yesterday. I love that about her. She’s the only one who doesn’t actually give a sh-t. The others most definitely do give a sh-t. Doesn’t mean we can’t love them but By Lainey • Feb 11, 2014 04:04 pm
BFFs Julia Roberts wins Best Picture Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep were pretty tight last night at the Critics’ Choice Awards. They were on the carpet together, they sat together, they hugged several times, and for the most part, on those occasions, Julia held down The Julia, because even Julia knows that Julia < Meryl Streep.

BFFs Angels In America This photo of Meryl Streep and Emma Thompson was taken 10 years ago while they were promoting Angels In America.

Media Manipulation There you are, Meryl Meryl Streep has been largely absent from promotion for August: Osage County. She’s been shooting movies, busy, and hustling on carpets and at parties isn’t usually her thing, although once in a while, if Harvey Weinstein nags at her hard enough, she’ll oblige. That said, the Academy By Lainey • Nov 26, 2013 12:38 pm
Johnny Depp McCartney & Meryl How could they say no? It’s Paul McCartney shooting a video at Abbey Road Studios. No one could say no. So here’s the video for Queenie Eye featuring Johnny Depp and Kate Moss (not shot together) and all kinds of other famous people I’m not listing for By Lainey • Oct 25, 2013 10:50 am
Movie Reviews and Previews But why must it ALWAYS be girl sh*t? As Lainey says, girl sh*t is the best sh*t. It makes for great gossip. When it’s organic girl sh*t, occurring in the wild, I enjoy it as much as the next person. When I don’t enjoy it is when it’s manufactured bullsh*t meant By Sarah • Sep 27, 2013 02:48 pm
Media Manipulation Only Meryl can take on Cate It was reported just a few weeks ago that Meryl Streep would not contend for Best Actress at the Oscars in March and that, instead, she would be submitted in the Supporting category, with Julia Roberts representing August: Osage County in the lead to take on Cate Blanchett, the current By Lainey • Sep 10, 2013 10:18 am
Girly Throw Downs Over to you Nicole…and Cate, and Julia, and Sandy And Kate and Marion and how many others?

Maple Leaf The Iron Lady is coming to TIFF Oh yeah, and Mark Ruffalo too. I don’t see why I have to keep writing this article. Isn’t that enough? Isn’t it??? Fine. We will continue. The Toronto International Film Festival has just announced its 2013 lineup and, as usual, it’ll be a mega movie star By Lainey • Jul 23, 2013 12:44 pm
Nicole Kidman Nicole, Meryl, and Harvey Deadline confirmed yesterday that The Weinstein Company has acquired distribution rights for Grace Of Monaco starring Nicole Kidman. So, you know what that means: he’ll be pushing Granny Freeze for an Oscar campaign next year. (By the way, the Oscars will be held back to March 2, 2014 to By Lainey • Mar 26, 2013 05:04 pm
Oscars 2013 Best Oscar Display of Humanity: Meryl Streep I was hardly the only one to see it, but I am delighted that we now have the potential to recapture it. This is fantastic. The best actress in the world picks her wedgie (I would also have accepted “adjusts her fullback underwear”), and not only smiles with grace about By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 07:49 am
